#shanghai bund#shanghai bund 2007#huang xiaoming#sun li#cdrama#ellisgifs#new shanghai bund#cdramaedit#新上海滩#hiiiii i just randomly started thinking xu wenqiang and started spiralling </3#decided to rewatch the final eps for The Painnnn#um this is actually a gifset of the final episode#this scene happens in ep 1 but the b&w flashback to it is also the final scene of the whole drama..... hahaha.... so cool..... so fun.....#everything about the ending of this drama is so brutal fr#it's been years but it still makes me so insane to think about#'if you want to blame someone blame fate' YEAH NO I CAN'T HANDLE THIS#truly one of my absolute favourite stories about characters trapped by the narrative and perpetuating cycles of abuse and grief#and every character is a ghost haunting their loved ones even before they die#and there are a hundred places where things could have gone differently but there was also no way to change the outcome#it was always going to end like this#and then at the very end...... the story resets. the camera goes back to the beginning#(spoilers)#wenqiang is dying on the pavement and suddenly we're back in the train station all those years ago watching him step off the train#watching them just be strangers in a crowd#knowing that they'd be happier if they just remained strangers. knowing that their paths will collide because that's how it always happens#that's how the story goes#their endings have already been written and they cannot escape from the narrative in which they have found themselves#it was over before it began#from the drafts#queue
